It should be an interesting tournament and is the next best thing to having the NHL players play. Ufa and Omsk look like pretty remote cities but if they are keane on hosting the games then it should be a good fit. I'm curious though as to why they are not in Moscow or St. Petersburgh. Is it just a function of Junior Hockey not being that popular in Europe?
From a Canadian perspective I'm curious about the television and venue setup. Since this is new I think will find its way into the largest Junior Venues in the CHL. I suppose that could still keep Calgary and Vancouver in the hunt.
